I am really excited by Steve Denning's Radical Management: the messages of Scrum and Agile sent directly to management in their language. It adds important new concepts, especially a strategy for change leadership and emphasis on delighting the customer.

During his visit to Zürich, Steve Denning and I will lead a one day Gathering on Radical Management for C-Suite Managers. We'll look at the five big shifts and why these shifts are the inevitable consequence of basic changes in the
marketplace and the workplace. You will learn how to use storytelling to
revolutionize the workplace and establish a radical management mindset.
The day will focus on co-creating the "big picture" principles of
radical management as well as the practices involved in implementing the
principles.

This Gathering is for leaders who want a radically better approach to
management. Find out more online or contact me for more info!

Where: Hotel Uto KulmWhen: September 12, 2011

Registration: The number of participants is strictly limited and open to top
management and selected thought leaders only. Please include the details
of your invitation under “Comments”. Sign up at DasScrumTeam.com/rmg11.

How can you combine agile development with constraints of contracts and regulations?

International, virtual teams are more and more the rule in software development projects. Customers, suppliers and development partners define their cooperation for a project, work together for a while, then split, then come back together in a different form for a new project. Many projects occur in a strictly regulated environment.

In this open space event for line managers, contract managers, product managers, legal specialists and other people involved with requesting and supplying software development services, Heitor Fihlo, you (the participants) and I will examine the issues and co-create the solutions to your problems and your issues with contracting for agile software development services.

Heitor Roriz Filho is an "agilero". He currently works as an Agile Coach and Trainer in Sao Paulo. He has been dealing with Agile since 2004. He is the founder and Agile Coach of Massimus a company that is focused on APM training and coaching. Has has extensive international experience, having worked for companies like ITAUTEC-PHILCO SA, DaimlerChrysler AG, Fraunhofer Institut, Fundação Paulo Feitoza and FUCAPI.
